As a synaesthete I have to disagree. Numbers, colours, letters and notes - it's all one fucked up mess for me. However, the tracklisting, sounds, words and visuals make Paradise probably the most comforting and fitting album I ever listened to. As a synaesthete. The album viewing mode in iTunes however makes me cringe, vomit and bite off my nails.

Am I the only one who kind of chuckles at Universal's attempt to make this song somewhat light-hearted by remixing it for radio and making some pseudo-melancholic, sunshiny single cover? Looks pretty, though.

I just can't believe it...

Their sound has changed, I love this! Except for "Statues of Ourselves," their stuff didn't really do anything for me. But live they were good when I saw them at the Born This Way Ball.

We can never say 'what if' but I am convinced that all those accusations of her being fake and manufactured did her a lot of favors career-wise.

Good luck! Fingers crossed for you...

That he's tired of feeling like he's fucking crazy...

Nah, she's not quitting music... In fact, she's already collecting material for the continuation of Electra Heart... https://twitter.com/MarinasDiamonds/status/301440617697906688

Oh, you're serious with this week's non-swearing policy?

It has arrived...

This photo is hilarious...

Unusual, but cute...

I think I'd have to compile a three-disc set.

Might start this today...

I understand where you are coming from. So far, the actual Lana fan community has been rather small and personal. There was a sense of intimacy between her and her fans. I do also understand that now that her popularity is rising, it might appear to some as if this would go away, but I don't think so. You talk about people at your school beginning to like her? Well, I doubt they are as interested in her work as we are on here. The point is that the overall part of her audience are people that like a couple of songs, preferably those played on the radio. I am in no way implying that they are less of a fan, but you have got to see that many people liking her won't change the fact that you are her fan or that you know the things you do. There is no problem if you ask me. Just don't let this affect you and go on being the fan you've always been. Maybe there will be a few people at your school that show similar interest in her work, ever thought about that?

She looks beautiful... Thanks for posting!

Off-topic, but I just saw your avatar and thought: "Man, you look a lot like Berrie..."

Yes, she was.

So was I but I do...

Keep in mind that especially in terms of feminism, many things have been unsaid in the early 1990s. Feisty women in popular music have been rather rare at this point.

I am certainly not a fan of hers, but if she's such a mediocre musical act, then why do you, who is so obviously mature and has a brilliant taste in music, honor her with your attention and offend those that do listen to her music. Now that's really mature.

Yes, in the course of two years Tori submitted various versions of the album including songs that would later end up as b-sides. Most songs aside from the piano-driven songs were basically produced on behalf of the Atlantic Records wanting songs that could serve as singles. Especially the lyrical content of many songs seemed very risky... and yes, the piano should originally be replaced by guitars. It's not too hard, actually. She can't play complex compositions at both hands at the same time. But the concentration she has...
